 The Jouraal-Niner, referring 10 previous publication in that paper which reflected on the conduct of the late John N. Berry, in the unfortunate affair which cost him his life, says: "We gladly publish the letter written by John W. Foren fron the fact that from conversations had since with some of the best people of Flagstaff, together with the testimony brought cut before the grand jury, we are convinced that Berry was not implica. ted in the row at all, but was only acting in the capacity of fpeacs-maker when killed. The information preri- ously published iu these columns was no doubt started by some friend sf the murderer, but WAS given te us by | party who waS reliable and who was by no means an enemy of the mur- dered man."
